I am not sure I understand. I did the glibc upgrade and have not downgraded. I run postfix and my mail is coming and going. I had thought/hoped that postfix does work with the new glibc if you don't do prelinking (which is my configuration: 2-13 glibc, postfix, no prelink). If glibc-2.13 kills postfix w/o prelinking then perhaps, I am just lucky and my overall configuration is such that it "works for me". I am assuming that a glibc fix will be forthcoming quickly so am not anxious to downgrade, but am even less anxious to have postfix suddenly stop working. Thanks for keeping us informed. allan
